If it should be that I grow old and weak.
And pain should keep me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done.
For this last battle can’t be won.
You will be sad. I understand.
Don’t let your grief then stay you hand.
For this day more than all the rest.
Your love and friendship stands the test.
We’ve had so many happy years.
What is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer?
So when the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they’ll tend.
Only stay with me to the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me.
Until my eye’s no longer see.
I know in time that you will see,
It’s a kindness that you do to me.
Although my tail it has last waved.
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Do not grieve it should be you,
Who must decide this thing to do.
We’ve been so close,we two these years.
Don’t let your heart hold any tears.
From a (man’s /woman’s) best friend.
With thanks for all the love and devotion
Over the years.
